<p>The circuit (11) has a controller (14) for controlling a flow of a coolant in the circuit. A temperature reduction co-efficient determination module, a difference calculation module, a product calculation module, a sum calculation module and a comparison module of the controller determines an initial thermal condition during beginning of a start-up period of a combustion engine (100). An estimation module of the controller determines an estimated temperature of the coolant from the thermal condition and an equation representing thermal exchange in the circuit during the start-up period. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for controlling of a coolant circuit of a combustion engine (2) a computer program comprising a set of instructions for executing a method for controlling of a coolant circuit of a combustion engine.</p> |
